KayCyy - Before I Was Born (Album)
I’ve been tapped into KayCyy since his “Pluman” mixtape era, and watching his growth has been nothing short of phenomenal. His standout contributions to Ye’s Donda put the world on notice, but for those already familiar, it was simply the confirmation of something we already knew; KayCyy is different. There’s a soulful aesthetic he brings to his music that’s both mesmerizing and emotionally raw, a balance that very few artists can maintain without compromising authenticity.
This year, he doubled down on that artistry, first with his atmospheric collaboration project “Saddest Truth” alongside sign crushes motorist; a release that felt like floating in the clouds of your own thoughts. And now with the release of his solo album “Before I Was Born”, KayCyy has fully stepped into his own.
“Before I Was Born” is incredible from start to finish. It feels like a journey that flows with heart, soul, and emotions that are unfiltered. One minute you’re meditating on perseverance and the desire to keep moving forward; the next, you’re faced with the weight of past mistakes and how they shape the way you love. KayCyy paints these moments with so much clarity that the project feels like a mirror to the listener’s own life. He delivers his pain, growth, hope, and spiritual reflections with such finesse that you can’t help but connect.
There’s something beautifully conscious about his pen. In a time where surface-level art dominates much of the mainstream, KayCyy’s vulnerability and spiritual grace cut through like a beam of light. No one else is doing it quite like him. “Before I Was Born” doesn’t just define moment in his career; it’s a defining moment in this era of music.
